Well, I can't thank all of you who sent me crystal glaze advice enough, as I
just opened a glaze kiln and found, there on top, a bowl full of beautiful
1/2"-1" Colbolt crystals. (I switched around that cone 6 recipe that was
posted, added cob carb, fired to cone 8). I couldn't be happier & couldn't
have done it without your advice.

PS: Yes, it RUNS!!!! On the outside of a vase, it ran into the little bowl I
had set it in and pooled, but where I used it on the inside of things (open
vases, bowls, etc) it works great!! Just play with it and it will eventually
work out.
